6. Taohuayuan
Oh, baby, this is the most expensive home in all of China, and it seems pretty easy to understand why. The house costs roughly 1 billion yuan, which is about $154 million. The home, set on a private island on Suzhou’s Dushu Lake, which is China’s largest lake, has 32 bedrooms, as well as 32 bathrooms. It has a massive wine cellar, a giant, excellent pool, a mist-covered pond, and much more! The home and property took just over three years to complete, and it’s fashioned in the traditional Chinese style. The Xiangshanbang Traditional Architectural and Building Skills to get all of the brickwork handcrafted, which had to be painstaking as the home covers 72,441 square feet! It is owned by Hongtian Chen, a Chinese real estate tycoon, who purchased it in 2016.
5. The One
Seriously, that’s what they’re calling this super expensive, reserved for the rich, rich, rich house located in Bel Air. It’s made from marble and glass and features things such as four swimming pools, moats, 20 bedrooms, 30 bathrooms, walls and ceilings made of aquariums, a movie theatre, a bowling alley, and a nightclub. It’s enormous, and it makes some of the neighbors’ homes, neighbors like Elon Musk and Jennifer Aniston, look tiny. We guess that’s why the price tag is so amazingly large; the house that can dwarf the mansions of the rich and famous costs a cool $500 million. We’ll see if he can sell it, though; the world record for the most expensive house sold came in at $300 million. We’ll be surprised to see someone put down another $200 million on top of that!
4. Witanhurst
This vast, historical 20th-century Georgian Revival mansion can be found in Highgate, North-West London. It sits on 5 acres of land and is the second-largest home in London with an incredible 90,000 square feet of living space after its most recent renovation. Inside are 63 rooms, 25 of which are bedrooms, and some others include a drawing room, billiard room, and a ballroom. It was built between 1913 and 1920 by architect George Hubbard, and it kept in bits of the Georgian-style Parkfield estate that used to stand on the grounds. Prior to its renovation, the home only encompassed 40,000 square feet, but its current owner, Russian billionaire Andrey Guryev, made a lot of additions. There are now also two basements that hold things like a gym, a sauna, a massage parlor, a movie theatre, and a 70-foot pool, as well as lots of parking spaces. Guryev bought the house in 2008 for just $50 million, and he shows no signs of selling anytime soon.
3. Safra Mansion
Lily Safra, the widow of Edmond Safra, the Lebanese banker, owns what is, at this point and time the second most expensive house there is. Edmond Safra was the founder of the Republic National Bank of New York and had other giant banking operations in places such as Brazil, Lebanon, Switzerland, and Syria. When Edmond passed, Lily assumed ownership of the property, and boy was that a good deal. The home sits on a 50-acre plot of land that houses the 117,000 square foot, 130-room home. The Safra mansion also features two pools, a pool house, a helipad, a giant greenhouse, an outdoor kitchen, and a guest house to rival the size of the mansions of many other rich folks. The property was designed and built by architect Ogden Codman Jr. between 1929 and 1931.
2. Biltmore Estate
This giant estate can be found in Asheville, North Carolina, and it was built between 1889 and 1895 by George Washington Vanderbilt II. The home boasts 178,926 square feet and is still owned by the Vanderbilt family. There are 250 rooms in the house, 35 of which are bedrooms, 43 bathrooms, three different kitchens, 65 fireplaces, and multiple elevators. Considering it was built so long ago, it’s almost a wonder that it has things like centrally controlled clocks, a call-bell system, and forced-air heating, but it does. It also serves as an inn these days and rooms are available for the public to stay in. There are also suites available for those with the money, and those are all named after friends or family members of good old George Vanderbilt.

Hispanic and Latino Americans
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Hispanic Americans and Latino Americans (Spanish: Estadounidenses hispanos, pronounced [isˈpanos]) are people in the United States who are descendants of people from countries of Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula. The United States has the largest population of Latinos and Hispanics outside of Latin America. More generally, it includes all persons in the United States who self-identify as Hispanic or Latino, whether of full or partial ancestry. For the 2010 United States Census, people counted as Hispanic or Latino were those who identified as one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the census questionnaire (Mexican, Puerto Rican or Cuban) as well as those who indicated that they were other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino. The national origins classified as Hispanic or Latino by the United States Census Bureau are the following: Argentine, Cuban, Colombian, Puerto Rican, Spaniards, Dominican, Mexican, Costa Rican, Guatemalan, Honduran, Nicaraguan, Panamanian, Salvadoran, Bolivian, Spanish, Chilean, Ecuadorian, Paraguayan, Peruvian, Uruguayan, and Venezuelan. Other U.S. government agencies have slightly different definitions of the term, including Brazilians and other Portuguese-speaking groups. The Census Bureau uses the terms Hispanic and Latino interchangeably.Origin can be viewed as the ancestry, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person's parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify as Spanish, Hispanic or Latino may be of any race. As the only specifically designated category of ethnicity in the United States (other than non-Hispanic/Latino), Hispanics form a pan-ethnicity incorporating a diversity of inter-related cultural and linguistic heritages. Most Hispanic Americans are of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Salvadoran, Dominican, Guatemalan, or Colombian origin. The predominant origin of regional Hispanic populations varies widely in different locations across the country.Hispanic Americans are the second fastest-growing ethnic group by percentage growth in the United States after Asian Americans. Hispanic/Latinos overall are the second-largest ethnic group in the United States, after non-Hispanic whites (a group which, like Hispanics and Latinos, is composed of dozens of sub-groups of differing national origin).Hispanics have lived within what is now the United States continuously since the founding of St. Augustine by the Spanish in 1565. After Native Americans, Hispanics are the oldest ethnic group to inhabit much of what is today the United States. Many have Native American ancestry. Spain colonized large areas of what is today the American Southwest and West Coast, as well as Florida. Its holdings included present-day California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Texas, all of which were part of the Republic of Mexico from its independence in 1821 until the end of the Mexican–American War in 1848. Conversely, Hispanic immigrants to the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area derive from a broad spectrum of Latin American states.A study published in 2015 in the American Journal of Human Genetics, based on 23andMe data from 8,663 self-described Latinos, estimated that Latinos in the United States carried a mean of 65.1% European ancestry, 18.0% Native American ancestry, and 6.2% African ancestry. The study found that self-described Latinos from the Southwest, especially those along the Mexican border, had the highest mean levels of Native American ancestry.
